Publisher's Summary

Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows meets Alexandra Bracken’s Passenger in this spellbinding third book in the “vivid and compelling” (BCCB), New York Times best-selling Last Magician series.

Evade the serpent.

Heed the curse.

Rewrite the present.

Esta isn’t a stranger to high-stakes heists. She’s a seasoned thief who has no reservations about using her affinity for time to give her an edge, and she’s trained her whole life for one mission: travel back to 1902 New York, steal the ancient Book of Mysteries, and use its power to destroy the Brink and free the Mageus from the Order’s control.

But the book held a danger that no one anticipated - Seshat, an angry goddess, was trapped within its pages. Now that terrible power lives within Harte, and if given the chance, Seshat will use Esta to destroy the world and take her revenge.

Only Esta and Harte stand in her way.

Yet in their search to recover the elemental stones needed to bind Seshat’s power, Esta and Harte have found themselves stranded in time with a continent between them. As Esta fights to get back to Harte, the Order is no longer the only obstacle standing in her way.

Saving Harte - and magic itself - will put even Esta’s skills to the test. And all the while, another danger grows, one more terrible than both Seshat and the Order combined...

Messy

I enjoyed the first book of this series, the second was ok, this book missed the mark entirely for me. There are a lot of characters and the story takes place in different periods of time simultaneously which is ok, I found that a lot of the situations the characters found themselves in were needlessly over complicated. This made the book feel very messy, a lot of it didn't make sense because there were simple solutions staring the characters in the face but weren't used.

This is really good

I've been reading this series for a few years, and I was so sure that this book was the end and just when it seems like it's gonna wrap up, it doesn't. Honestly, I've given this series so much of my time and I genuinely believe it's worth it, even if you take a few month-long breaks in between chapters. Sticking it through to the ned is so worth it, and I cannot wait to see how it ends.
